Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 279 We'll Simply Break One Of His Legs

Danny Spall, Gorman's assistant, addressed Linsey in an unyielding tone. "Ms. Brooks, it's come to my attention that the hotel manager showed you disrespect earlier. Rest assured, he will be disciplined. Let us not dwell on these minor irritants.

Mr. Green is waiting for us upstairs."

Linsey remained rooted in place, her gaze locked on the hotel manager who quivered on the floor, his face etched with fear.

"What do you mean by that?" Linsey's voice was tinged with concern.

The thought of dismissing him seemed too harsh; after all, she had barely been bothered by the encounter.

Instances like this were not unfamiliar to her; she tended to overlook them unless they crossed a line.

She couldn't help but feel that taking action against the manager for such a petty issue was blowing things out of

proportion.

Her shock deepened as Danny replied with chilling calmness, "We'll simply break one of his legs."

"What?" Linsey's voice cracked, her disbelief palpable.noveldrama

All this because he was a little rude? And now the poor bastard was about to get his leg snapped like a twig?

"What the hell? That's cruel and unnecessary!" Linsey's protest grew louder, her tone fraught with urgency. "He barely did anything, and I couldn't care less-call them off before this goes too far!"

She stood, bewildered by the extreme measures. What was it with these affluent circles and their disproportionate

responses to trivial slights?

Danny regarded Linsey with wide eyes, his expression one of utter surprise. "Ms. Brooks, are you seriously suggesting we

let him go?"

Linsey's patience frayed, and her voice carried a tinge of irritation. "What else could I possibly mean?"

She shook her head, her tone sharpening. "I certainly hope you weren't serious about breaking his leg. That's barbaric- he's a human being, not some disposable plaything."

After a brief pause, Danny's shoulders slumped slightly in submission. "Alright then. If that's what you want, we'll go with

it."

He lifted his hand, signaling his men to release the captive manager. With a stern gaze, he warned, "Remember, Ms. Brooks is a distinguished guest of Mr. Green. Any further disrespect towards her won't be taken lightly."

His voice dropped to a frosty whisper as he snapped at the hotel manager, "Well? What are you waiting for? Thank Ms.

Brooks now!"

The manager shuddered, his voice quivering as he bowed over and over. "Thank you, Ms. Brooks! I swear it won't happen

again!"

Despite the resolution, Linsey couldn't shake off her discomfort, but she managed a nod. "It's fine. You're free to go."

The manager didn't need telling twice; he nodded vigorously and scurried off, relief palpable in his hurried steps.

Turning his cold gaze away from the retreating figure, Danny faced Linsey again. "Are you happy with how this was handled, Ms. Brooks? Let me know if you need anything else."

"No, that's all," Linsey replied, her voice steadier as she exhaled deeply, trying to calm the storm within.

Danny's smile barely touched the corners of his lips, and it vanished as quickly as it had appeared. "If you would kindly

follow me, Mr. Green has been eagerly awaiting your arrival."

There was an unsettling formality in his tone that sent a wave of unease washing over Linsey.

She couldn't help but feel that she had inadvertently wandered into a nest of vipers.

The meticulousness with which his assistant orchestrated every move did not bode well for the nature of Gorman himself.

What had initially appeared to be a straightforward business proposition was quickly morphing into something far more

sinister.

If they were ruthless enough to break a man's leg over a trivial insult, what lengths would they go to if Gorman's temper

flared against her?

A shiver of apprehension trailed down her spine. Subconsciously, her grip on the pepper spray concealed in her pocket

tightened.

Could she make a swift exit if the situation turned perilous?

Her mind teemed with potential escape routes, yet she maintained a composed facade.

With a practiced air of nonchalance, Linsey slipped her phone from her purse, thumbing through to find Collin's contact.

Her finger hovered over the call button, primed to summon help at the first hint of danger.

Eventually, Danny paused at the entrance to a private room. With a gesture that suggested she was to enter alone, he

stepped aside and said, "Ms. Brooks, please, after you."

His retreat from the doorway underscored the isolation of the meeting ahead.
